Chapter 155 Pioneer Cooperation! Horror restarts!
In this regard, Shen Miaomiao also thought the same.
but.
Different from Gu Sheng’s wait-and-see attitude.
Shen Miaomiao was very interested in this cooperation.
She is not from time travel, so she doesn’t have much prejudice against Comella, a comprehensive digital entertainment group.
She only knows that in today’s global game market, she is a first-class existence.
At the same time, its somatosensory cabin market share is also among the top.
It is a world-class company.
A world-class company now takes the initiative to propose cooperation to a regional small and medium-sized game company like them. Everyone has to make some considerations.
Shen Miaomiao thought this was very beneficial to her.
Due to the launch of the official version of the system, a new mechanism for adding derivative projects has been added - as long as the main project is profitable, the project is deemed successful and derivative sub-projects are allowed to be opened. The sub-projects will inherit the rebate rate of the main project and can build on it. , to further increase the multiplier.
Such an upgrade undoubtedly gave her a new way of thinking about losing money.
Now that she is making games, she can no longer blindly pursue losses, but must change her strategy to increase the main project's rebate rate as much as possible, and make the main project as profitable and successful as possible.
In this way, she can open the sub-project and let the sub-project inherit the rebate rate of the main project to maximize the loss rebate!
And now!
This cooperation project proposed by Comella is just suitable to be used as the main project.
After all, we are Asia’s number one, pan-global comprehensive digital entertainment group.
The so-called name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Comella's reputation is displayed here, and its strength is beyond doubt.
In addition, they still control a large share of the somatosensory cabin market.
The most important thing is that the chief director this time is Lao Gu!
If the chief director were someone else, Shen Miaomiao might still murmur a little.
But Lao Gu...
All kinds of favorable situations are undoubtedly more powerful for this guy.
In this regard, Shen Miaomiao was full of confidence.
So, I am also very interested in this cooperation.
Of course.
Whether it was Gu Sheng's skeptical look, or Shen Miaomiao's interest.
One thing that is undoubted is that in this cooperation, they can have a preliminary understanding and contact.
Ever since!
It’s afternoon!
With Chu Qingzhou’s contact, Golden Wind and Comella started a video conference—
…
As for Comela, the meeting was naturally led by Tetsuya Moritani, Managing Director of Game Business, accompanied by Moritani’s secretary Sanae Inoue, and Game Affairs Department Minister Higashinoda.
As for Golden Wind, the person who led the meeting was naturally the president Shen Miaomiao, and the ones accompanying him were Gu Sheng and Chu Qingzhou.
The video was connected, the two parties exchanged pleasantries, and then got to the point.
“…I believe that your company must be very interested in this cooperation if you can start a video call with us, and we are deeply honored for this,”
Moritani opened his mouth and said:
“Then please allow me, on behalf of our company, to introduce this cooperation to your company and our preliminary idea—”
Collaboration was proposed by Comella.
They will naturally have to come up with a specific cooperation plan.
In fact, it is very normal for a comprehensive digital entertainment group like Comella to invite game manufacturers and studios to cooperate, and it is also very common in this world.
Just like Xunteng Games and Zhen Ting.
To put it bluntly, it is recruiting mercenaries.
However, the current situation of Golden Wind is somewhat different from Zhenting’s situation back then.
Zhenting is a game supplier, specializing in providing **** masterpieces for the third generation of Polar Bear. Zhenting is responsible for the game production costs.
As for Xunteng Games, Zhen Ting will be provided with corresponding publicity resources and partial commission benefits.
The cooperation between Comella and Golden Wind is more in-depth.
According to Moritani, this time for the "Restart Silent Hill Project", Comella wants to invite Golden Wind to jointly fund development.
Comela provides the IP, and Golden Wind provides the main team.
The production cost of the game is 70% from Comela and 30% from Golden Wind.
Naturally, in terms of income, the two parties also split the accounts equally.
The game IP copyright is fully held by Comela.
It can be said that this cooperation is relatively fair.
After all, the IP was originally an abandoned project of Comella. Golden Wind only sent a creative team of less than twenty people. The rest of the relevant production staff were from Comella, and Comella accounted for the majority of the cost.
This cooperation is reasonable and reasonable.
Shen Miaomiao and Gu Sheng looked at each other and felt that they had no objection.
Just now I want to talk about the specific details.
Hearing Moriya suddenly change the topic, he said: "But..."
Looking at the big screen, Moritani opened his mouth and muttered:
“But before the official development begins, out of trust and recognition of your company, Mr. Sam, we hope to start pilot cooperation with your company immediately.”
“Pioneer cooperation?”
This is a new word, and due to the language barrier between the two parties, they have always communicated in English. Shen Miaomiao did not know whether her translation was correct, so she wondered:
“Mr. Moritani, can you explain in detail this so-called ‘pioneer cooperation’?”
“Okay, okay,”
Moritani nodded and said:
“Theoretically speaking, the cooperation between our two parties will take at least one and a half to two months, from negotiation to negotiation of specific details, to the release of the cooperation agreement, legal approval by both parties, and final signing.”
Moritani Toru didn’t talk nonsense about this either.
After all, the cooperation between Comella and Golden Wind is already a transnational project.
The situation itself is a little complicated.
In addition, Golden Wind also has a parent company, Shen Capital.
According to company regulations, for any project involving [cross-border cooperation], the relevant contract agreement must be reviewed by the legal department of the parent company.
This is a hard and fast rule.
After all, the size of Shen Capital is here. It would be impossible to exist so firmly without some special support and background.
This is not only Shen Wanlin's request, but also the meaning above.
so!
Even a game cooperation development agreement can be completed within one or two months from drafting to signing.
“But in two months, the Dongjin Game Festival will open, leaving us not much time,”
Moritani said:
“Given the current situation in the horror game market, a simple promotional video does not seem to be able to demonstrate our determination to rebuild the glory of horror games,”
“So, the upper management proposed that at this Dongjin Game Festival, in addition to the promotional video, there should also be a trial version for players to experience the game,”
“It doesn’t take too long, but we need to fully demonstrate our innovation in horror games and make the rebooted Silent Hill IP the hope of the horror game market,”
"so…"
Speaking of this.
Moritani opened his mouth and considered the words:
“So we are considering whether we can launch pilot cooperation in advance and promote the production of a trial version during the formal cooperation negotiation process?”
Tsk—! !
As soon as this statement came out!
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but smacked their lips secretly at the same time, frowning slightly.
It can be seen that Comella is a little anxious. It must be that this plan of ‘expanding game types and developing horror games’ was only put forward not long ago, and it seems to be rushing the ducks to the shelves.
Somewhat difficult to handle.
If it is just pure cooperation, then judging from the conditions proposed by Comella, Golden Wind has no reason to refuse. Not only making money, the key thing is that this cooperation has greatly helped to improve their reputation.
But now, Moritani suddenly proposed a "pilot cooperation", which undoubtedly disrupted the cooperation process that should have been carried out step by step.
"This...does not comply with our company's regulations..."
After pondering for a moment, Shen Miaomiao frowned slightly and said:
“Any project involving [cross-border cooperation] must undergo approval and risk assessment by the upper-level parent company. This is our rigid rule,”
“I don’t think we can achieve the ‘pilot cooperation’ proposed by your company.”
The red line cannot be touched.
Although Shen Miaomiao was concerned about her rebate plan, she did not lose her wits and forcefully change the regulations of the head office.
However.
Who is Moritani?
Since he proposed this idea, he naturally had his own solution and smiled:
“We also have a general understanding of your company’s situation,”
“In terms of rules and regulations, we absolutely respect the relevant requirements of your company and your country, and will never touch restricted areas,”
“So, we made some changes,”
“We will proceed with cooperation negotiations and approvals as usual,”
“But during the negotiation period, we are willing to ‘employ’ Mr. Sam at twice the market price,”
“Please forgive me for my clumsy use of this inappropriate word, and I would like to express my sincerest apologies if it offended me.”
“In this case, our two parties cannot be regarded as a [transnational cooperative relationship],”
“It’s a very simple relationship between [labor outsourcing] and [labor dispatch],”
“As far as I know, such an outsourcing employment relationship does not require lengthy approval and risk assessment.”
What the hell? !
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
This is really a toad marrying a frog - an ugly flower.
Moritani’s proposal is equivalent to directly bypassing Shen Capital’s regulations.
For the time being, Comella will only 'hire' himself as the special forces king, pay himself a salary, and resolve the matter of the trial version.
After that, after the two parties formally reached a cooperation, Golden Wind will invest and send people to jointly develop the main game of Silent Hill with Comella.
Hear the words.
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao turned their heads at the same time and looked at Chu Qingzhou, the chief secretary who was most familiar with the company's regulations.
Chu Qingzhou nodded slightly, indicating that Moritani's method was indeed feasible and not illegal.
Gu Sheng secretly said "Good job", looked at Shen Miaomiao, seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and raised his eyebrows:
‘This little devil came well prepared and knows your family’s rules and regulations better than you do. ’
Shen Miaomiao also felt that this matter was quite outrageous.
As Lao Gu said, if Moritani hadn’t come up with this method, even she might not have been able to come up with this magical ‘pioneer cooperation’ model.
also responded to Gu Sheng’s expression of dumbfounding:
‘Then what do you think? King of Special Forces? Do you think this method is feasible? ’
Gu Sheng thought for a while and slightly raised the corner of his mouth:
‘Let’s see what his price is. If it’s suitable, it might as well be. ’
Shen Miaomiao's big eyes flashed:
‘It’s done. ’
Turning to look at Moritani Tetsuya, he said: "We have discussed that this method is feasible, but before that, we need to understand your company's bid."
Shen Miaomiao finished speaking and waited for Moritani's reply.
But on the opposite side, Moritani was already stupid!
ah? ? ?
…bridge bean sack!
You mean ‘discuss’?
Where did you...just...have a discussion?
Didn’t you say nothing during the entire process, and just looked at each other a few times?
Could it be said that the Golden Wind has its own secret code? Like Morse code?
His! !
Think of this!
Moritani’s scalp couldn’t help but feel numb.
If this is the case, then the golden wind is too terrifying!
Because in this way, they can exchange opinions at any time in any negotiation meeting without hesitation, and then dominate the rhythm of the negotiation table!
“This…uh…ah…”
Moritani didn’t quite understand how the two people negotiated and how they reached an agreement. After hesitating for a long time, he regained his composure, took the quotation booklet from Secretary Inoue next to him, and swallowed:
“According to our market research and comparison, the annual salary of an excellent producer like Mr. Sam as Director is generally between 100,000 and 150,000 U.S. dollars,”
“After deliberation, in order to show our full sincerity and determination,”
“We decided to invite Mr. Sam to serve as the special chief game director of Silent Hill with top salary, totaling 300,000 U.S. dollars.”
Wow—
Hearing Moritani's quotation, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao both sighed softly in their hearts.
For just making a trial version of the game, Comella offered a price of double the maximum annual salary.
Three hundred thousand dollars, equivalent to 2.1 million yuan.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh to himself. The wealthy man was really rich and wealthy. He was so rich.
Shen Miaomiao secretly remembered the price and prepared to find a suitable opportunity to increase Lao Gu's salary.
After all, for such a long time, from Cat Leo to Titanfall, Lao Gu has always received an annual salary of 500,000 yuan.
Although this price is not low in the domestic market, plus the dividends at the end of the year, you will earn a lot.
But she believes that Lao Gu deserves a higher net worth now.
certainly.
Like these two capable generals, Lu Bian Dajiang, Lao Gu's right-hand man, naturally cannot be left behind.
Um!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded.
This is to reward employees and enhance the company's cohesion, not to intentionally increase labor costs and further increase the investment budget for future games!
That’s it!
There is no objection between the two parties!
The pilot cooperation has been concluded!
Comella will hire Gu Sheng to be the special chief game director of "Silent Hill" for a price of 300,000 U.S. dollars, giving him the highest authority within the project and leading all matters of the project.
Gu Sheng will also go to Neon in a week to settle in the Comela Game Division and start the development of the Silent Hill trial version!
ˆBoth parties expressed their expectations and optimism for this cooperation.
At the same time, Shen Miaomiao was also in the system, opened the main project document, and directly extended the document attachment time to 90 days—
【Main project: Silent Hill (unlocked)】
【Project investment amount: 0 yuan】
【Project settlement time:? days (+90 days)]
【Project rebate rate: 10 times (+90 times)】
【Current revenue amount: 2.1 million yuan】
【Estimated rebate amount: 0 yuan】
【Remaining settlement time: waiting to be opened】
【PS: Settlement time cannot be generated for unlocked documents and will be automatically generated after locking】
Perfect!
Looking at the documents that had not yet been locked, Shen Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction!
In this wave, I seek profits rather than losses!
As long as this wave is successful, when my next sub-document is generated, it will be the day I get 100 times the rebate!
Lao Gu! It's up to you! You have to work hard!
Shen Miaomiao was extremely excited!
And Gu Sheng is also gearing up!
silent Hill!
This landmark super IP has now come to his hands in a roundabout way.
And he will also show off his talents and bring players a psychological horror journey that goes straight to the depths of the soul!
Terror restarts!
Silent Hill—Here it comes! ! —
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket~
